Tiana stirred in her sleep. The light rays coming from the window hurt her eyes. Turning her head to the other side, her eyes fluttered open. After a few seconds she looked around the room and her heart sunk, there was no-one there.
Although she knew it wasn't real, it felt real; she had heard her mom's voice in her ears; she heard her speak to her; she had told her it was alright and she would never leave her again.
She didn't want to accept that it was all a dream; that she had just faked it all up in her head. She was still thinking about last night when suddenly her eyes widened,
Wait, a minute… she remembered falling asleep on the couch when the storm began.
How did she get here? Her brows creased as her thoughts wandered.
Did her mom really come to her? Did she really come to comfort her?
